U.S. begins airstrikes in Syria

The U.S., joined by five Arab allies, launched the first airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Syria Monday night, marking the first U.S. military intervention in Syria since the start of the country's civil war.
The U.S.-led strikes opened the war's new front, and is on top of the extra funding approved by Congress last week to train Syrian rebels.
About 190 air strikes have already been carried out in Iraq since August.
